The undeclared U.S. Senate race between New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton remains locked in a dead heat, with 46 percent for Giuliani
and 43 percent for Mrs. Clinton, according to a Quinnipiac College poll released today.

In a September 15 poll by the independent Quinnipiac College Poll, Clinton had 45
percent to Giuliani's 44 percent.

Gone are the double-digit leads the First Lady enjoyed when speculation first surfaced
that she would seek the New York Senate seat.

By a 32 - 34 percent margin, New Yorkers have a favorable opinion of Clinton, with 25
percent mixed and 8 percent who haven't heard enough to form an opinion. Giuliani's favorability
ratings are 35 - 26 percent, with 26 percent mixed and 12 percent who haven't heard enough to
form an opinion.

"While Mayor Giuliani has dominated the headlines with his outspoken criticism of a
controversial art exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, Mrs. Clinton has been out of the news
recently. The latest results show it's still too close to call," said Maurice Carroll, director of
the Quinnipiac College Polling Institute.

If Donald Trump, Warren Beatty or Pat Buchanan runs for President on the Reform
Party ticket, they would not do well with New York State voters, the Quinnipiac College Poll
finds.

If Trump runs on the Reform Party ticket, 3 percent of voters say they definitely would
vote for him, while 6 percent say they probably would vote for him; 22 percent say they
probably would not vote for him and 66 percent say they definitely would not vote for him.

Beatty fares the same: 2 three percent of voters say they definitely would vote for him,
while 7 percent say they probably would vote for him; 31 percent say they probably would not
vote for him and 55 percent say they definitely would not vote for him.

If Buchanan runs, 2 percent of voters say they definitely would vote for him, while 8
percent say they probably would vote for him; 28 percent say they probably would not vote for
him and 57 percent say they definitely would not vote for him.

"Like him or not, Pat Buchanan is a serious politician, but he's not a serious vote-getter
in New York," Carroll said.

"Like his movies or not, Warren Beatty doesn't draw at the ballot box.

"Like his buildings or not, Donald Trump has not developed a political following in
New York."

From September 24 - 30, Quinnipiac College surveyed 1,049 New York State registered
voters. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent. The Quinnipiac College Poll,
directed by Douglas Schwartz, conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut as a public service and for research.
